True I do love the idea that Miles chooses to ignore the “Spider-Man curse” because of his choice to make his own path and prevent his loved ones death and that the other Spider folk don’t understand because of what that loss did to help them become the heroes they are.

If miles was a mistake, he wasn’t meant to be bitten, the spider was from another dimension

How come it’s canon that his dad needs to die?

Also when they showed all the spider peoples deaths in a long row, the last one was miles over Aaron’s dead body. I thought that was a clear indication that Aaron was his death canon motivator thing

But he also needs to lose his dad?

I also don’t really know if it works that every other Spider-Man wouldn’t be on Miles’ side. The ‘we have to try…there must be a way’ desperate NEED to do the right thing is Spider-Man 101 so idk if hundreds of other Spider-Man trying to stop him works.

Maybe an outcast group of jaded, mean Spider-Man with especially rough universes… but hundreds were trying to stop him ??

Like I swear spectacular Spider-Man and insomniac Spider-Man would NOT chase miles and try to stop him

But it’s film of the life and who cares

I think even though he wasn’t meant to be the spider-man of that world, once he got bit by the spider he got set down the “Spider-Man path”, so he would still experience what every spider person goes through even if he wasn’t meant to be one. Also you’re correct Uncle Aaron is meant to be his Uncle Ben. They emphasized the one he’d lose would be the police captain he confided in, it just happens miles dad is also captain he confides in of his universe. Spider-Man as a character (Atleast from the comics and further adaptations) deals with heavy loses to strengthen himself as a hero. Honestly it’s a tragic character

I think the next one will be miles dad reunites with miles uncle from the other universe and turns on the new prowler because of it

This movie almost felt like golden age Pixar in its exploration and fun creative interpretations of Spider-Man mythology stuff

Monsters Inc world = playing with our collective knowledge of monsters and things that scare us as kids -> inventing a systematic world around it

Coco world = playing with our interpretations of death and the afterlife -> inventing a systematic world around it

Inside out world = playing with emotions and growing up -> inventing a systematic world around it

Across Spiderverse Spider-Man compound place = playing with our knowledge of Spider-Man canon -> inventing a systematic world around it

Even the plot conflict of the whole institution saying one thing has to happen & the protagonist hero character defying that and going against the rules is super Pixar

The worry shouldn’t be about this Miles going to the live action MCU, it should be Miles going to the SSU

Oh so the captain doesn’t need to have any sort of emotional significance to the spider-man of that world? That would explain Tobey’s “cannon” because he never had a captain figure

naw the captain dying is canon event in all spidermans timeline apparently starting with comic book captain stacy

ohhh the captain that makes sense good call

The one character I didn’t really get the hype behind. The character design was sick af but critics were making it seem like he’s one of the best things about the movie

As stated by James Cromwell who played Captain Stacy in Spider-Man 3, In the script for the unmade Spider-Man 4 both Captain Stacey and Gwen were suppose to die early on to up the stakes, so it technically was going to happen just wasn’t able to be shown

In Holland’s Spider-Man Captain America died

jk I know he’s still alive

Captain America is on an island with iron man and og war machine drinking margaritas

My reading of the “web of life” setup was that not every spider-man has to have the exact same thing happen to them, but there are several specific events that tie groups of them together.

The police captain death is only one of many common variables. Others mentioned would be Uncles and Gwens dying.

Not every Spider-Man has close ties with a police captain but if they do they’re dead.

Gwen wouldnt be considered an anomaly because her origin is still intact. Her initial tragedy was her Peter dying.

Your second question will probably be answered in the sequel.

2. Miguel says he’s known that miles was an anomaly and that he’s been trying to hold everything together. I assume that if Miles dad doesn’t die, that would be another anomaly and his dimension wouldn’t be able to handle it and it would disappear just like Miguel’s

f***ing thank you. tired of people sucking this movie's story d*** off

The animation/art design for Gwen Stacy's universe is absolutely beautiful.

wasnt film of life but probably 3rd best spidey movie after first 2 raimiverse i shed some thug tears off nostalgia

facts, best parts of the movie easy

the scenes with her and her dad were insane

The way in the emotional moments with her dad at the beginning & the end, the world slowly got more and more abstract and blissful like every time the camera would cut to the other person, it’d be a bit more abstract

This whole film is just brilliant. I also really loved the art direction for The Spot's flashback sequences too.

AcroOooOooss the Spider-verse.

You get it!
They truly used the animation to emotional ends in a way that totally knocked me out.
